Look how wide they keep going over the kerbs just before start/finish.
 
Everybody is going over the curbs, DRS enabled now. Ticking time bombs to another exploding tire ?
 
I got an idea about avoiding the kerbs.


Place sensors in the white line.
Then place sensors on the edge of the radiator pods.

If these sensors see that you cross the white line, the ECU cuts out for 3 seconds.

GT5 Penalty style.
 
If you wouldn't take the curbs you would loose way to much time...
Quite logical they keep on using them.
 
You can't expect a hot driver to avoid all the kerbs. Another failure is possible.

But if the increased pressure prevents damage, then they should be fine.

Alonso in with a chance... depending on how Vettel's tires hold out. But he'll really have to get around Sutil.

:lol: At least we can tell a few jokes, to ease the anger many of us are feeling.

What if you are pushed?

Exactly.
Why are they still racing?
 
Half way point, and a good amount of those laps under SC....
 
Telling drivers to avoid kerbs doesn't work. Even when I race karts, once they said to us that they would give a 1 lap penalty to anyone who got two tyres on the kerbs. Did anyone listen, no, did anyone come into the pits when black flagged, no.

Drivers won't listen when racing.
 
I'm talking **** right now, but would be fun if every race would have tyre explosions and you never knew who would be next haha.

The whole race is a big question mark now.

If you're pushed then the other person gets a penalty and goes invisible for 20 seconds. Unless we want to go with a Codemasters penalty system and then you'd get penalised for being in his way.

Fair enough. :lol:

Meant gives the guy that did the pushing a black flag.

Speed typing on a keyboard i have not used in 3 years is not a wise idea.
 
Sutil is doing a fantastic job!

It's hard enough to fend off Alonso at the best of times, let alone under these strained circumstances.

Even better, make the car also go transparent :lol:.
 
Heart skipped a beat with Alonso pulling out there.
 
Is that a front wing endplate laying in the middle of the track?
 
What the hell was that?? Did the whole front wing fail??
 
Who knows what it is, but another yellow flag...geez
 
He might've hit the brake marker board.

Sorry, kinda knew that (hence ninja edit), what I more meant was, how the hell did that happen??



EDIT: Well, no more tyres have failed. :D
